Hope he has hired a really good proof reader. ;) His interpretation of the facts and data is not the best. :eek:

Yes, well, he's still endearing himself to one and all in other corners of the internet...

Always nice to see the same goofy arguments go on everywhere.
-
Crumpp has consistently proven to be little more objective than Kurfurst (also known as Isegrim), in spite of having much better access to the information.

Crump has emotional issues... Anyone who spends the larger part of their day arguing nonsense is in need of a competency hearing.
He'll get bounced from that board too... He can't help himself, he's completely self-destructive. I don't know why, but anyone can search this forum and see his issues plain and simple.
My regards,
Widewing

Crumpp is a soldier with your airborne forces, airborne ranger I believe. Last time I heard from him he was a sergeant. He served in Afghanistan some time ago.

from an old thread
Crumpp My whole adult life I have been in the Military. Much of it a Commander.
I remember him saying he commanded a desk.
-
Well, I have a couple of pictures he sent me and unless that desk was mounted on a HMMWV...

My son-in-law served in Iraq, a supply sergeant. I have photos of him in a humvee.
Whatever Crump was/is career-wise is irrelevant. He displays the same behavior as countless other unhappy people polluting the web with their anger and insecurities. His obsession is clearly unhealthy. If I had a choice to listen to Crump for an hour or suffer a bout of diarrhea, I'd reach for the toilet paper and a magazine.
My regards,

I took a look at that thread and apart from Crump's obvious issues he is also technically incorrect on some points. That he no longer posts here has saved so much wasted time, we should all be grateful.

I recall Crump arguing that the Spitfire could not follow the Fw190 in a climp because the Spitfire climbed at ~4,500fpm at 170mph and the Fw190 climbed at ~3,750fpm at 190mph. He could not grasp that the Spitfire's climbrate at 190mph was still better than the Fw190's and it could just lower its climb to match the 190's. He insisted that the angle of the climb would be off and the Spit couldn't get a gun solution that way.
He didn't understand how the Fw190 had to utilize its speed and climb to escape from the Spitfire. He thought it happened at best climb speed, not at the point where the Spitfire had no spare thrust and the Fw190 still had some, 321mph at sea level for the Mk IX, 338mph for the VIII, 344mph for the XVI and 358 for the Mk XIV. Well, a bit sooner as the Fw190's excess thrust would exceed the Spit's before the reached their max speed, but you get the idea.
-
Just more of the same ole Crumpp.........manipulating the numbers to project his idea, and then demeaning others when they don't jump on board with him or dispute/refute his figures.
I especially loved the other guy who used Crumpp's own formula to point out his flawed thinking and reasoning. The F-15 comparison was on the edge, but it did demonstrate (to me at least) how he was trying to manipulate the formulas. His classis stand by response of "you obviously have no aeronautic education" left me with this mental image of a cockroach racing around trying to find a place to hide from the light................
-
You should have seen the time he "proved" that no P-38s or P-47s ran at the higher boosts in the field.
-
For what it's worth, he's made references to official documents that no one has seen. So, short of fabricating them, his book will have some value.
-
I was around Benny, I just didn't respond to his posts much.
My favorite, and I may be remembering Kurfurst rather than Crumpp, was the thread about how much more fuel efficient the DB engines were than the Merlins and Allisons.......
I read along, figuring I would learn something, then he popped off about how outdated and outmoded the Allison engines were, citing the use of the huge turbocharger in the P47's to achieve their high altitude power. When I remarked that I was under the impression that the Thunderbolts used P&W radials, he came back with a less than complimentary remark.
Was I baiting him? Of course I was. This guy is never gonna be happy until he can convince everyone that Germany should have won WW2 as they were the world leaders in technology, not just in aviation, but ALL technology. It was kinda fun watching him do the BBS equivalent of a temper tantrum whenever anyone disagreed with him.
I had this little mental image of a Hitler look-a-like jumping up and down in his computer chair, typing away furiously at our "ignorance". :rofl
-
eddiek, Barbi has a big hate on for the British and anything British (Spitfire is #1 on his hate list) so it would be him who was going on about fuel efficiency. He got pwnd over at Ubi several times when he brought up that subject.
One must question Barbi's political affiliation.
moot, yes Crumpp's book might be OK if it contains documentation and he keeps his 'The World According to Crumpp' comments to a minimum.
Any remember the 150 fuel discussions?
-
Question for real pilots.
Crumpp is talking about the weight of the 190 and says a 'overload' condition "means all the oil and other disposables have been topped off". "Overloaded is a term used when doing weight and balance sheets for when these consumables weights are maximized."
For me, an overload condition is an a/c loaded over and above its normal flying weight.
Is he confused, again?
-
Ahh....thanks Milo.....
Yes, I remember the 150 fuel thread.....funny, then sad, then pathetic.....
I knew he had a thing against the Allies, was sure it was just the British or what.

See Rule #4

They could do just like you and shade it up after the PNG.;)
-
You have to admit that he brought this on himself.
And if he wanted to post here, it's not that creating a new account is that complicated, eh Viking ;)

doh! :D

I haven't said anything I haven't stated to Crump directly. Moreover, nothing I wouldn't say face to face.
He can't defend himself because he managed to get himself booted, which is not an easy thing to do, inasmuch as HTC gave him a great deal of latitude and countless warnings via edited and locked threads. The apparent fact that he has not changed his ways is indicative of a compulsive behavior. He is informed time and time again, yet will not learn.
What would you like us to do, pat his head and say that he's just misunderstood? You make it sound like he's the victim, instead of the ever repeating offender. He willingly stuck Mr. Winkie in the meat grinder and you are upset that people he offended are reaching for the handle....
My advice is not to back the losing horse, especially after the race is run. Whatever he may have to offer, he has polluted with his toxic personality.
My regards,
Widewing

I can't believe I read that whole stupid thread.

I recall this debate, I was probably in it. Good memory you have Karnak.
Anyway, I was always rather in a good contact with Crumpp, we even flew together. We also had jostling debates with Izzy on numerous occations.
He did have good sources as well, but no sources are complete (normally) and then you need the head as well as the historical knowledge to compile the whole heap, - up to some sense!
I recall a thread where Crumpp sort of snapped, and went all mad at Widewing, I think I even posted something there. Sort of baffled me.
Later on, there was a BoB or something of the sort-Thread, where he really baffled me again with complete lack of comprehension. I think Scholzie may have been touching those issues as well as many others...now was it the BoB or the Graf Zeppelin (CV) thread.
Anyway, shortly after Crumpp was banned, and he did not show up again.
I had a BoB debate prepped for him, so I found it a pity (:t ), and we never got on to the subject per email or otherwise.
So, no bashing here, just looking back a bit, and I rather have the opinion that it would have been better for at least Crumpp to stay on the forum, just like you....Viking.
-
What is wrong with Izzy´s possible political affiliation? Though I have battled with on many occasions, sometimes with very heated words, I have no political problems with him.
-
In Crumpp's defence ( ... gawd ... ), he does have his uses. He's just posted a very interesting original German document re: the Me 410 over on the other board. Fans of twins such as myself and Viking can only be grateful.
More to the point, I don't think he can be an entirely well man. I've never encountered anyone quite so convinced of his omniscience - it can't be an easy burden to bear.
Edit - that last part doesn't come across quite right. It can't be easy to always believe oneself to be in the right, despite ever-mounting evidence to the contrary.
-
I personaly couldn't care less about his issues. They aren't mine, I've got nothing to do with them, and they have nothing to do with the WWII data.
-
I didn't realize that Crumpp was banned from here. All of my discussions with him occurred at other forums. Is Kurfurst (also known as Isegrim) also banned from here? And if so, would it be frowned upon if I were to rejoice?

But his issues don't have nothing to do with the data. His refusal to admit that any Western technology could be superior to something created by the Holy Third Reich taints his objectivity. Considering the lack of honesty I've observed in him, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he was altering or fabricating some of his documents. I recall Kurfurst doing that.
-
"His refusal to admit that any Western technology could be superior to something created by the Holy Third Reich taints his objectivity."
I don't recall such thing. As far as I remember his interests were quite limited and claiming an affection to anything out of "third reich" actually shows how cartoonish and naive your interpretation of him and his interests actually is.
"This guy is never gonna be happy until he can convince everyone that Germany should have won WW2 as they were the world leaders in technology, not just in aviation, but ALL technology."
Can't really even comment this but it's worth pointing out. Basically same BS as above. I don't think either of these persons have swastikas hanging from their wall.
Kurfürst certainly was a 109... "fanatic"...., if you like, and tried to lob the qualities of 109, just as you guys promote the qualities of your favourite rides here every day.
Same for Crumpp but his affection was for 190s. He thought that 190s were somehow "broken" because they did not fly as he thought they should fly. His mentality and attitude to HTC did not really get any better by constant baiting by people who didn't really have anything to say in discussions, just to get the little "Hitler look-a-like" to jump. And for what? Just to promote their own position? Probably many of them grown up men behaving like kids on a school yard. Was actually kind of sad to see it happening.
Those guys had their issues but as I saw it they were literally smoked out of Aces High with majority agreeing that it was good for the community. Didn't really seem to raise the level of discussion to new intellectual heights...

Yes Charge, that's exactly what's been going on. Gang up and ridicule the guy until he snaps.
-
Yes Benny Barbi was banned when he went on one of infamous rants making very obnoxious remarks about the death of Dan's 2 teenage children. It was so bad his posts were deleted from the thread.
-
This has gotten waaay off topic and appears to be headed nowhere.
-
I think it is past time that both of them were put to rest and never again mentioned. I'll withhold comment on both of them myself. Just let it go, it is over.
